Comments

most likely a nromal person would say WHAT THE F***! or something along those line, but if she looked like Rukia. I would ask Why are you in my closet! or How HELL did you get in my house! or something like that.

I highly recommend Another to be one of the anime listed here. I’ve watched the top 6 of this list, and i’d say another would come just below steins gate, because of the fact i thought in all it was a better anime than Code Geass. However this is a list of mystery anime, so comparing the mystery side of the anime’s i’d have to put it below Code Geass.

for the anime spiral (that’s listed up above on the list), read the manga. i havent watched the anime. i read the manga. the manga was pretty sweet. this anime has a mysterious and thriller feel to it. fucks with your brain so much with its plot twists. honestly a very worthy manga, not sure about the anime though.
